# Leave Organization

> Removes a user from an organization while preserving organization data.

`Unary` · [`Organizations`](/docs/api-reference/generated/organization/overview)

Removes a user from an organization while preserving organization data.

Use this method to:

* Remove yourself from an organization
* Clean up inactive memberships
* Transfer project ownership before leaving
* Manage team transitions

### Examples

* Leave organization:

  Removes user from organization membership.

  ```yaml theme={null}
  userId: "f53d2330-3795-4c5d-a1f3-453121af9c60"
  ```

Note: Ensure all projects and resources are transferred before leaving.

## Endpoint

```text theme={null}
POST /api/gitpod.v1.OrganizationService/LeaveOrganization
```

Send a Bearer token as described in [Authentication](/docs/api-reference#authenticate-requests). If your organization uses a custom management-plane domain, replace `https://app.ona.com` with that domain.
